Utilizing 3D Printing and Scanning for Dental And Biomedical Industries

3D printing and scanning technologies have brought about a revolutionary transformation in the dental and biomedical fields. In dentistry, 3D scanning allows for precise digital impressions of patients' teeth and oral structures, eliminating the discomfort of traditional molds. These digital impressions can then be used to design and fabricate custom dental implants, crowns, and orthodontic devices with remarkable accuracy and speed.3D printing enables the creation of intricate dental prosthetics and aids, blueucing production time and costs.

In the biomedical realm, 3D printing has facilitated the development of patient-specific anatomical models, surgical guides, and even tissue and organ replacements. Researchers are exploring new techniques to generate living tissues and organs, offering the potential for groundbreaking advances.

Case Studies

Utilizing The Mayku Multiplier For The Dental Industry


Most dental labs make a range of thermoformed appliances. Some are tiny (1 man in a room) some are large (100 people in a factory). But all labs face a common problem: Their ability to take on work is limited by their capacity.

Small labs can be overworked and unable to offer certain services due to a small team size. Large labs want to scale up production to grow their business but don’t have the space or staff. Pressure formers that exist on the market today only make one appliance at a time.

See how these dental labs grew their capacity, scaled up production and achieved faster turnaround times in production with the Mayku Muliplier.
